I was just reading an article about this in the WSJ. Happy to see a color that I like. The whole radiant orchid color didn't really work for me.

Yes - the online reviews are calling it "Icky Marsala", an unbecoming and unappetizing reddish-brown, the color of the gravy sauce in Chicken Marsala......not sure its better than the "radiant orchid" of the last year.......what's wrong with a really nice "ecru".....{#emotions_dlg.lol}

Another cool shade with gray undertones! Corpse-like complexion, here I come!

Sephora just sent out an email stating that they are launching an eye shadow and lipstick in Marsala. Think of Marsala cooking wine - a rich rosy red and brown shade. According to Pantone, you only need a touch of it, and it blends well with gray, black, beige, and other neutrals!

Here you go ladies:

I'd like a leather skirt suit in that color.

I would like handbags, shoes, boots, and a leather jacket in Marsala! Also, with my red hair, the cosmetics will be great too!

I think this would go great with the Rose gold and Bronze jewelry.

When Pantone announces their color of the year, I always wonder what the new Fiesta color announcement will be in March! I like Marsala in handbags and clothing, not in Fiestaware so much
